Harrison and the Farmer.

General Harrison, during his
months %sojourn at the White House,
made himself very popular, says Ben:
Perly Poore. He arose every morn
ing with the sun, took a long walk,
often returning through the market.
On one of these occasions he bought
a new milch cow from a neighboring
farmer and requested him to drive it
to the Presidents house. The Gener-
al was there to attend the animal and
invited the farmer to take some re-
freshments, procured a bowl of hot
coffee, ham and eggs, and continued
conversation with him about farming.
The farmer, having finished his
breakfast, remarked to the General {:
"You have bought my COW and given
me 81 more than 1. asked, and a good
breakfast besides, but if it wouldn't
be too much trouble, l would like to
have a look at the President before |
60" 81 am the President" replied
the General. The farmer at first
looked incredul6us, having taken his
hOspitable friend for the steward, but,
convinced of his mistake, with much
frankness observed: "Well, Gener-
al, voted against youat the election,
but | didn't know you then. "zChica-

Insane He Swept the Keys.
BY W. HARLEY, OF CHATTANOOGA.

BY W. HARLEY, OF CHATTANOOGA.
1t was at one of the railroad sta
tons in the northwest that the Incl
dent referred to in the poem below
occurred. A young man had been
the only hope of an INDECENT mother.
Educated, refined, and of noble in
t%ellect, he gave much promise to the
future, but alas! in an evil hour he
commenced the use of strong drink,
and by it became totally insane. AS
Il vagabond he wandered from place
70 place, repeating, 81 will sing of
my Redeemer," while, in imitation
Of his playing in the days gone by,
his fingers would wonder over the
keys of the organ. His reason had
fled, and with it the joy and hope of
Il poor mother. All, how many are
following his course today! How
many today in our own beloved Ten
nessee, are on the road to destruction!
Let us crush this monster" Let us
work while it is day, for the night
cOmeth when no man can work."
All day long It was cloudy, gloomy,
For their fell a constant rain,
And a crowd of men and ladies
Waited for the coming train.
Warm were they in silk and %satins,
. Seated in the coy room,
Smoking, r~eading-little cared they
For outsiders in the gloom.
Swing the heavy shutters wider,
For the restless, moving tide,
Talking, walking-.walking, talking,
Talking of the coming ride.
Drifting with the crowd, a stranger
Entered carelessly the door,
Polished form and noble bearing,
Though he ragged was and poor.
See! he gazes on the wealthy
He had seen much better days;
Now he sings, his fingers wander
Der the loug-forgotten keys.

Father, Where is Your Boy Tonight"

A father took his little child out
into the field one Sabbath, and, as
the day was hot, he lay down under
a beautiful shady tree. The little
child ran about gathering flowers and
little blades of grass, and coming to
her father and saying, +" Pretty! pref
ty!" At last her father fell asleep,
and while he was sleeping the child
wandered away. When he awoke,
first thought was, "Where is my
child" He looked all around, but
he could not see her. He called
aloud for her, but all he heard was
the echo of his own voice. Running
to a little hill, he looked around and
shouted again. No response! Then
going to a precipice at some distance
he looked down, and there, upon the
rocks and briars, he saw the mangled
form of his loved child. He rushed
to the spot, took up the lifeless corpse
and Rugged it to his bosom, and
accused himself of being her murder
er. While he was sleeping she wan
dered over the precipice.
How many fathers and mothers,
how many Christian men, are sleep
ing now while their children wander
over the terrible precipice right into
the bottomless pit of hell! Father,
where is your boy'tonight? 1t may
be Just out there in some public house;
it'may be Keeling through the streets;
it may be pressing onward to a
drunkard's grave. Mother, where is
your son? Is he in the house of the
publican drinking away his soul
every thing that is dear and sacred to
him? Father, you have been a pro-
fessed Christian for forty years ;
where are your children tonight ?
Have you lived so godly, and so
Christlike, that you can say, follow
me as l follow Christ? Are those
children walking in wisdom? are
they on their way to glory? have
they been gathered into the fold of
Christ? are their names written in
the Lambs Book Of Life? How
many fathers and mothers today
would be able to answer? Did you
ever stop to think that you were to
blame that you had not been faith
full to your children? Come, O, Lord,
and wake up every mother! And
may every one of us who are parents
feel the worth Of the souls of the
children whom God has given us.
May they never bring eur gray hairs
with sorrow to the grave, but may
they become a blessing to the Church
and to the world! D. l.. MOODY.

The Bar, a liquor paper of New
York, says "The Prohibition move
ment has made such progress that
not only has it imposed itstyrannical
laws upon several of the greatest
States in the Union, but figured
threateningly in national politics and
made the amendment to the Federal
Constitution possible and probable"

A FATAL MISTAKE

AhH O0e0es"ftW \Onlo) TeSS,'
Of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
In attendance. The, disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any fool whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem.
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosavet the patients
life an operation was justif.
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, Dr..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been iv.
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy In curing this class. of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

In the South, or in many of the
States, a great wave of business pros
perity has come, such as that region
of the country never had before, and
in nearly every instance it has come
to the States in which Prohibition is
making the fastest progress. Geor-
gia, Alabama, and Tennessee are the
three Southern States which are the
most prosperous, Texas being next

Sir Charles Upper, Canadian FL
nance Minister, and probable success
sor of Sir John Macdonald as leader
of the Liberal Conservative party, in
a late speech pointed out the fact
that he had carried through Parlia-
ment a law giving absolute Prohibi-
ton to the Northwest Territories,
embracing two million five hundred
thousand square miles; that he had
made total abstinence obligatory
among employees on the Govern
ment railroads all over Canada, and
that he considers Prohibition the
most vital question before the Cana
dian people.

How would Mr.. Sherman like the same
tactics applied to himself? 1t would be

more plausible, against him, and there
would he nothing but his own word and
his reputation to set up in defense. Ii he
